You Don't Own Me, but the Upcoming First Wives Club Reboot Certainly Will

Jill Scott might primarily be known for her music, but the multihyphenate previously appeared in Why Did I Get Married?, Get on Up, and The CW's Black Lightning. In First Wives Club, she'll take on the role of Hazel, a once-famous singer who has since lost her spark partly due to her troubling relationship with her husband — who is also her manager.

First Wives Club will be the first major starring television role for stand-up comedian Michelle Buteau, who previously appeared on Key & Peele and Broad City. She will portray Bree, a mom and doctor trying to balance all of the responsibility that both of those roles require. Bree's world is suddenly changed upon finding out that her husband has had an affair.

Bathe is best known for her roles on Army Wives and This Is Us, which she costarred on with her husband, Sterling K. Brown. She most recently appeared as Celeste on the fourth season of Empire. On First Wives Club, she will portray Ari, a confident attorney with an incredible fashion sense. After putting her career on hold to advance her husband's political career and raise their two children, she will eventually use her wit and knowledge to help her college friends reclaim their independence.
